If I could give this a zero star rating, I would. The cover charge was outrageous and they only take cash so you have to use the atm. Which wasn't working very well when I asked for help from the bouncer to use the atm HE TOOK MY CARD and pulled out 100 dollars to pay for all my friends. When I expressed that I wasn't trying to pay for everyone, just myself, he threatened to kick me out. Later my friend was being accosted by a man in the crowd and we had to physically push him away FOUR TIMES before bar staff intervened (there was an employee standing about a foot away the entire time). The staff were straight up disrespectful and awful and the only nice person in the entire joint was the poor overworked bartender. A literal angel sent from heaven and great eye candy. This was the worst drinking experience I have ever had and also LUDICROUSLY OVERPRICED. The band wasn't bad but I'm also not convinced they were even playing and might have just been there for aesthetics. The bathrooms were also not that bad for a bar, they just didn't have toilet paper. It's also not that Irish and I had a better time waiting in line in the pouring rain than I did inside. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU ARE VISITING VANCOUVER. It was so bad that one of my friends Irish goodbyed bc she hated it so much and felt so strongly that she needed to leave RIGHT THEN AND THERE!!!! read more

Had a blast when I came with some friends on a Friday night! We wanted a place that was casual but still had dancing, and Blarney Stone fit the bill perfect. My party of 10 or so arrived 11:30 pm on Friday night, and there was a short line to get in. We waited maybe 10 minutes before it was our turn. There was a $12 pp cash cover. There was a live band on when we arrived and a large group of folks dancing in front, but we went and snagged a corner table first. There were plenty of open tables available, which surprised me, but I guess everyone was too busy dancing and having fun on the dance floor to sit :) While we were enjoying the live band, I got a rum and coke from the bar for $8, which I thought was very affordable. By midnight, the live band took a break and they started blasting top 40s mashups, which was right up my alley. We went and danced for a bit until the live band came back on around 12:40, and then chilled for a bit until the mashups started again around 2:15. Overall we had a blast dancing here! When the time we left around 2:45, it was still hopping with plenty of people on the dance floor. I'd definitely come back again next time I get the dancing itch. read more

5 stars for their pickle backs. Can't beat the price and the juices are salty and wonderful. GET THE GARLIC BREAD. It tasted fresh and def not from a frozen pack read more

Had a great time, place was packed. Live music. The bar was turning drinks over quick. We sat on the balcony and the end (south/west) no staff came by for food or drinks. Went downstairs to order drinks and food and carry upstairs. Likely due to the difficulty or finding staff. Understandable I would still go back read more

My sister and I attended the Blarney Stone for their St Patrick's Day celebration. Ambiance was fantastic with lots of decorations, suitable bands, and Irish dancers for entertainment. Our bartender was phenomenal and service was excellent with great drink recommendations I had never heard of before. Ticket price included breakfast and this year we chose from a menu which was a welcome change from last years buffet. Both of our meals were warm and delicious. read more

Dropped by the Blarney Stone for some midnight drinks. Spacious, but otherwise a very mediocre bar imo. I left with a "meh" impression. We sat at the bar and still had trouble getting the bartender's attention even though the place was quite sparse. Drinks were quite average in both selection and taste. The upside is Blarney Stone seems to be open later than others and so may be one of your few remaining options for late nights - however I definitely suggest the other options in the area instead if they are open. read more

It wasn't the best but it definitely wasn't the worst. I wanted a salad and hubby wanted comfort food. This provided a medium. The waitress didn't show us the vegetarian menu. The bar tenderer was better about the service. After our meal, we just had the dishes taken away but was never asked if we'd like to see the dessert menu. Yes we would. Meh, it's ok. Would I go back? Yes but for my watermelon salad only. read more

Blarney Stone - My favorite - Dance Clubs Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Initial thoughts: Bouncer is unnecessarily rude, bar tender judges drink choices outwardly (sure judge me behind my back, but don't mock my drink choices to my face please). Feeling old and tired, needs some freshening up. Perhaps get some Irish bands in with original material every now and then. Food & servers: always pleasant! Actually quite a decent pub to visit for lunch or dinner, and servers have been friendly and good at their job. Chicken strips are bomb! Soggy fries though. Music: cover bands; not my fave but I get it for the type of establishment it is. They do a good job with the material, and I hope they are paid well! Atmosphere: Fine, nothing bad to say here Overall: other than the servers, the employees here are rude and appear to hate their jobs. Could use to lower the cover (or remove) now that the dance floor does not exist (it's more of an extra loud pub than a club; the cover seems pointless). Have had the bar tender mock my drink choices, and those of my friends when purchasing for them. Bouncer told me to "get the fuck in line" when I was asking a question. Overall just an unpleasant experience. Have had many a negative time with the people that frequent here, so it's possible it's just not for me. I'd recommend the Irish Heather for something more chill and definitely more Irish! read more

Long story short my friend got kicked out for asking for change from a waitress when they asked for change on a $12 cocktail and paid with a $20 and was told "this is my tip" we had many other problems with the same waitress that evening. My group and I will never be going back ever again read more

Absolutely an amazing place and experience. Great food and a fantastic variety of drink options. 5 star rating with great service.

We were here for an event called Bingo Loco. The place was packed downstairs. We were worried that we don't get any service or attention while sitting upstairs, but Taylor was really friendly and approachable, and checks up on us. She offered a menu for us and informed us that we can grab orders from her. The Black & Black (Guinness and blackcurrant) was nice ($8). Overall, good experience. read more

Came here to get a beer. Parking is available on the streets, but good luck trying to find a spot. The interior is somewhat unique, with the mezzanine over the dance area. The only other places that come to mind with such a setup are Tobey's on the Drive, or (to a lesser degree) the Alexander downtown. Beers are not the cheapest here at $7 or so. The glasses also seem a bit smaller than other establishments. It must've been a college night when I was here, as the floor was packed with quite a few young 'uns. They do have the whole lights thing going, so this could be a decent place to party down. More importantly though, the dance floor is a fairly decent size. If you don't want to dance, there is also another bar area near the entrance. read more

Literally the worst Irish Pub ever. Guinness was great...everything else especially the comedy acts were the very worst. Do not go there!!!

I had supper this evening at the Blarney Stone. It's a big pub ... they have lots of room in the back and upstairs. But everyone was sitting in the front, near the open windows and at the bar. I saw a woman pouring her beer into a water bottle, which she put into her purse before she left. Hmmmm ... When she and the fella she was with left, I moved over to their table as it was on the patio. Other than a couple people stopping to ask for spare change, it was a nice spot to be. I ordered Roasted Garlic Hummus and Chicken Wings with Honey Garlic sauce. Both were delicious. The honey garlic sauce had a bit of a bite, which I liked. Sarah was my server. She was friendly and took good care of me. read more

There is limited seating but there is nice seating by a bench right on the sidewalk. Right in the heart of Gas Town this is a very hip location. I tried the fish and chips. They were quite tasty and a modest size portion. It came with a very small side of coleslaw. I was pleasantly surprised that the lunch actually filled me up. My wife had the salmon salad and asked for added roasted vegetables because the portion was on the small side. The salmon was perfect and crisp and the veggies were delicious. Not a bad place for a quick meal. It's a typical pub and you shouldn't expect more. read more

--- Food --- Mediocre for pub food. Ordered chicken wings, quite small and dried out. The Reubin sandwich was alright, slightly odd to see the corned beef so stringy. My guess, it's processed in a package. Not surprising from a pub downtown. --- Service --- Nothing special. Polite but not entirely attentive. --- Overall --- They have decent specials for beer and drinks. Worth going to if you need a drink and don't mind the noise of the 'local' band that is playing. Probably wouldn't go back unless friends were going. read more

A friend of mine was leaving town and suggested a bunch of us hit up Blarney Stone for trivia night for one last hurrah. Feeling a bit peckish, I decided to try their Blarney Burger (13.00). The fries were crispy and lightly salted (reminded me of thick McDonald's Fries). The burger itself was juicy and nicely seasoned but I found the bun to be a bit too soft and it kept disintegrating as I was trying to eat the burger. Had a great time with the trivia though! read more

The Blarney Stone in Vancouver's scenic and historic Gastown features two storeys and a live band that mixes Irish (and other) folk songs with classic rock covers. Song requests are welcome, so don't be too shy to ask for your favourite tune. The lineup usually begins to form around 9:30 p.m. The crowd is mixed, with mainly college kids packing the place on weekend nights. Cover is between $8 and $10, with drinks running about $5 per pint. Check out the twoi-for-one shooters at the upstairs bar. read more

However, it also took a long time to get our drinks, so there's that, too... read more

This place is bullshit. We got here before 11 and I told a waiter we wanted to order food. He said he'd be right back. Never returned and a waitress didn't come around until 11 on the dot to see if we needed anything and when we said we wanted to order food she said they stopped serving at 11, and oh look it's 11 exactly. She deliberately waited to come to any tables until it was 11. Don't bother woh this place. They clearly care more about their convenience than the customers. read more

If you went to The Cambie in first and second year, then you probably migrated towards the Blarney Stone in your third and fourth. A slightly more mature crowd populates this place on a happening night and still keeps that casual vibe where everyone is just there to have a good time and drink and dance. There's plenty of unpretentious people here and as a result I've met a lot of great people who are now friends. It's easy to get drinks as the bartenders serve things up quickly and are efficient with the crowd. read more

This is a review for early dinner and drinks. Being a Vancouverite, this place has been around for ages. Until New Years Day, I had never been (purposely avoided). We were headed to a hockey game and met up with some friends visiting from the UK. Being New Years Day not much was open. It was 4pm, so the spots that we're going to be open at 5pm for dinner were not a option. We stared out with a round of Caesars, which were delicious and come with about 4 toppings. For my main, I ordered the shepherds pie. The portion was massive and so good I ate it all! My boyfriend had the Guinness Pie and had the same comment. I was pleasantly surprised with the food. We had a few rounds of beer, a selection to meet all preferences. As we left the bar was filling up, not sure what the atmosphere would be like when it's packed. When were there it was super laid back, not too loud, and really comfy. read more

came here as group of 6 on a saturday night.. the line was pretty long . we ended up waiting for nearly an hour. the bouncers are pretty rude and were going off to the side to vape and chat, not really being attentive to the people in line. one of my friends was vaping near the door and the bouncer came up to him telling him to stop because he was standing too close to the entrance so he stopped but the bouncer then proceeded to hit his vape right beside the door??? lol what. on top of that, the bouncers let people behind us in line go in first and they all happened to be women which was annoying. theres a $5 CASH only entrance fee the bar itself is pretty alright, theres a stage the bottom floor with live music sometimes. service was average... our server was polite but as others have said, not that attentive. the kitchen was closed by the time we got in , we couldnt even eat. overall, i think our experience before getting in sucked but the interior is nice. not worth coming back to tho read more

Best night ever!! I went here for the first time on Friday and it was amazing. My friend and I arrived there around 9 PM and we could already see the place was very lively. We went right up the doors and were greeted by the bouncers, who were so nice, funny and welcoming (also, I swear one of them looked exactly like Superman ). Once we were inside we went straight to the first bar we saw (closest one to the doors) and within a few minutes we had our first shots and a drink to carry around. We found a couple of seats near the dance floor and right away a server came up to us and asked if we wanted to look at their food menu. I was both surprised and overjoyed since we were actually getting kind of hungry so this was great timing. I also didn't know they served food so late here (kitchen closes at 11 PM)! I ordered the cajun chicken quesadilla with yam fries (their red pepper aioli is delicious) and my friend had the sliders with plain fries. Both meals were amazing and while we were eating a live band was just about to perform! The band, who are called The Sheets (I asked our server) played a bunch of mashups of popular songs and it was awesome! I was enjoying every minute of their performance along with my mouth watering quesadillas. We ended up having a few more drinks and danced the rest of the night. Overall, it was a wonderful night and amazing first time experience here. I'll definitely be back here soon! Especially for the band and quesadillas read more

If your are not going to spend lots of money there don't even bother on going, people were rude at my friends and I for not ordering more (we ordered 3 pitchers of beer to begin), bunch of drunk people and rude staff. We moved to a bar area from a table because some people were leaving and we were about to order and sit there when the door guy say that we need to buy stuff if we wanted to sit, he pointed at the pitchers of water and said look how much water you drank what a waste of table, great way to attract costumers !!! read more

We came here on a Saturday night, and had a good time. They had all of the hockey games on, even the non-local games. The bartender was really nice (tall guy with a beard and faux hawk), and he was very attentive. We never felt neglected even when the bar filled up. And let me tell you, it really filled up. There was a sort of Irish sort of not Irish band that went on at 9:30. They were not terrible, they certainly got the crowd dancing and put on a decent show. A lot of people sitting at the bar were clearly there to watch hockey and they turned the games off early because the band was going on, so that was a shame. The food was pretty standard bar food, with the star being the fried mac and cheese. Definitely better than the fried Mac and cheese I've had before. Overall, it was a fun place and we might come back if we are in the area. read more
